I am Finally Home

Hi Everyone, I finally got home this morning. I am doing good. I want to thank you all for all your prayers and calls.  It was very rough road for me.I went in on the 30th of June and I was not scared. My husband up to entering the base gate was saying we can turn around and go home you don't have to do this. I said "Honey I came for this surgery and I am going through with this. Well after surgery everything was going ok and I went to have the barem leak test and everything looked fine. I got back to the room and they started me on ice chips and I was having very bad pain in my stomach. That night they gave me the jello and I just could not eat it my pain was really bad, That night I did not sleep and my blood preasure was 167 over 110 I knew something was not right. The next morning they brought in stage three  and I looked at it and just pushed it away. The doctors ordered x-rays and they found out that I was very bloated and they did not know why so they told me to not drink anything that they would do another x ray at 230 so they did another one and it was the same so I was told they had go back in. That is when I got scared I did not want another surgery. I called mtyhusband and told him that I was going to have to haveanother surgery and I needed him. Well the wheeled me down to the OR and I would not go in until my husband came. He finally gotg there, I kissed him and told the doctors we need to get this show on the road because I was in so much pain. They told me there was a 50% chance that they might have to do this open. I didn't want that but I just said I am in your hands.  The surgery was longer then the bypass but they did find scar tissue from  my hsteromy that had 4 years ago and it was causing the blockage. When I woke up I was so out of it I did not know where I was. I was that way for a good 7 hours then they took me upstairs to my room.  They took the stages very slowly this time and I was not able to have Ice chips until Tuesday the jello on Wednesday and Third  stage Today. Everything is going good I just very tired. Since I had two surgeries I was up 22 pounds of water and gas but it has came off and I amon the road to recovery . Gwen
